Financial repression
Financial repression refers to government implementation of policies to channel domestic funds to the public sector that in a deregulated market environment would go elsewhere. These policies are used to reduce the government's debt-to-GDP ratio. The term was introduced in 1973 by Stanford economists Edward S. Shaw and Ronald I. McKinnon to refer to well-intentioned but counterproductive policies that might impair a country’s economic development.
